Second Grant Of $25 000 Given For Leaf Research
A second grant of $25 000 to the Agricultural Experiment Station of North Carolina State College for its tobacco research program was made by Liggett and Myers Tobacco Co. Dr. F R Barkis presented the cheque to Dr. D W Colvard who accepted for the Tobacco Research Fund. The grant follows an initial $26 000 gift last March. Colvard praised the company for foresight and cooperation, saying the funds will support a continuing, expanded program addressing all phases of North Carolina's tobacco industry. Barkis stressed tobacco's economic importance and the need for broader, fundamental research. The grant marks a major step in an ongoing tobacco program at State College, with collaboration from industry and public resources.

Tobacco research grant aids North Carolina industry
The grant provides added support beyond current resources including appropriations and USDA funds. Despite the tobacco crop’s value, the total research budget remains small. Dr. E W Colwell says the grant closes the gap and boosts staff efforts to tackle tobacco industry problems and expand investigations.
